Streusel Spice Cake

Has anyone besides Rachel missed me? We have been gone on vacation to Kentucky, Ohio, and Indiana. We went to the Creation Museum in Petersburg, KY. It was fabulous. For those of you who may not know, the Creation Museum tells the story from the Bible of the first 6 days of creation. Everything was so beautifully done, definitely first class. Then we went on to Indianapolis to see family. On the way home yesterday, we took off at Rolla on Hwy. 63 and went to Mountain Grove for our grandson Barrett's football game. Rogersville won 30-20. Barrett was credited with 3 tackles. Log-Rog is still undefeated. Way to go Cats!! I am happy to be home and back to my blog.
